Following a dramatic Stadium of Light clash, we can now look forward to five three o’clock kick-offs keep Saturday’s action moving, before Liverpool host Villa in the evening encounter.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on events at the Emirates and the Etihad as Arsenal and City face up to favourable opponents on home turf. The likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Alvaro Negredo will be well backed ahead of their meeting with Cardiff, while Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud will be amongst the names being watched keenly when Fulham draw up in North London.

Elsehwhere, many Fantasy managers will be hoping for Palace to reconstruct fortress Selhurst Park and earn a clean sheet against visiting Stoke. Meanwhile, Norwich host Hull City and West Ham look to continue their revival against Newcastle at the Boleyn Ground.

You can look to our Twitter feed for the teamsheet news, whilst the Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain available right up until the final whistle at Anfield this evening.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Gerrard's scored 3 pens already this season, so 5/6 would be about par, assuming he can finish them.

      His pen taking isn't brilliant though, or rather it didn't used to be. If its improved at the same rate as the rest of his play they'll be great by now of course

        Very much. What do you think about this midfield Evs?

        Hazard - Cabaye - Eriksen - Johnson?

        With SAS upfront

          It would worry me.

          I would like another big hitter in there.... Silva, Yaya, caz, Ozil etc

      A red card would spice things up....

      Also even though I wouldn't wish an injury... Only one of Suarez will save my season as captain pick has become a nonsense every time I try and do something to catch up and nit captain him he kills me....
